The Fairfax Pinball Open
Saturday, March 20, 2004

Tournament is from 1:00 P.M. until there is a winner.
Qualifying (optional) begins at 11:00 A.M.

A one-day competitive pinball tournament, played in two divisions:



A: Wizards Division      B: Journeymen Division
Cash prizes and trophies for each division.

Entry Fees: $50.00 A Division; $20.00 B Division
All fees go to prize fund as follows:
1st: 50% and a trophy (A minimum of $300 is guaranteed to the A division winner)
2nd: 25%
3rd: 15%
4th: 10%
Trophies will be funded by coin-drop and donations. Games will be priced at 50 cents per game.

Extra balls will be disabled. Ball savers will be turned off. Bang backs and death saves are not allowed.

Format: Head to head; best two out of 3; double elimination.

Each loser from the main bracket will go to a second-chance bracket for another match, with the winner of that bracket going to a final match against the winner of the main bracket.

First, second and third place will be decided by the double elimination. All other players will be put into a quick playoff round to determine fourth place.

Initial brackets will be seeded by a one-game or one-ball qualifier. Anybody coming too late for qualifying will be given lower seeds.

March Madness Tournament Lineup

Other games to be determined as needed based on participation.

This should be a great chance to get warmed up for PAPA/Pinburgh coming in September 2004 (TBA Soon by the PAPA/Pinburgh folks).

And that's not all!

We will be moving machines in for practice on Friday night, and there will be some competitive matches and a friendly game of "no limit pinball." We hope to have some visitors from out of town, and there will be pinball on Sunday, as well, depending on who wants to play.

Also, we plan to put the T.O.P.S. on Roller Coaster for the weekend for another competitive event.
